Immigration and Comics, 1880-1910 - no surprises here, 1 of 13 is positive. The one pictured above could pass for one today though, no?

Gangs of New York →

It’s just a list of names and brief descriptions but it’s engrossing anyway, from the 1928 book Gangs of New York. Check out that Mandelbaum Gang, that, because of the pictures provided, looks like it was made up entirely of grandmas.

Check out this old Bluenose Ghosts film- Nova Scotianers may recognize that title, I read the Helen Creighton book many times over when I was little, and I like the charming old production look here. Not much flash but a little eerie all the same.

I am super enjoying the latest Bad Machinery, just like I enjoy all the Bad Machinery stories. But EVEN MORE

My mother gave the family a copy of this comic a while ago, and so I’ve restored it to where it was. I wrote it in a moment of grief and took it down almost as soon as it went up, it is a comic that is very much in the moment of something. My greatest affection and respect to the Beatons, they are good people, the very best. A tribute would be the word I’d like to use for them and their son, here.
